      Adaptive bounding techniques for stable neural control systems 

      Polycarpou, Marios M.; Ioannou, Petros A. (IEEE, 1995)
      This paper considers the design of stable adaptive neural controllers for uncertain nonlinear dynamical systems with unknown nonlinearities. The Lyapunov synthesis approach is used to develop state-feedback adaptive control ...

      Identification and control of aircraft dynamics using radial basis function networks 

      Ahmed-Zaid, F.; Ioannou, Petros A.; Polycarpou, Marios M.; Youssef, H. M. (Publ by IEEE, 1993)
      In this paper, we investigate one type of neural networks, namely the Radial Basis Functions (RBF) networks, and apply them to the identification and control problems of an aircraft system. The RBF network is used as an ...

      Robust adaptive nonlinear control design 

      Polycarpou, Marios M.; Ioannou, Petros A. (Publ by IEEE, 1993)
      An adaptive control design procedure for a class of nonlinear systems with both parametric uncertainty and unknown nonlinearities is presented. The unknown nonlinearities lie within some 'bounding functions' which are ...
